The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) is a
program dedicated to performing a survey of the size and
number distribution for small bodies (< 10km) in the
Kuiper Belt. These objects are too faint to be detected
through traditional means, but can be observed via their
occultations of background stars. This technique is
challenging due to the low event rate, the short event
duration (< 200ms), marginal signal to noise of
detections, and the possibility of a high false detection
rate due to atmospheric fluctuations or other terrestrial
phenomena. TAOS overcomes these obstacles with a four
robotic telescope array (50cm) located in Lulin, Taiwan.
Each telescope is equipped with a 2048 x 2048 pixel CCD
camera. All four telescopes synchronously monitor up to 2000
stars autonomously at 5 Hz. We discuss the current state of
the survey and the overall performance of the system during
predicted asteroid occultations. In particular, we discuss
our two telescope response to the occultation by (1723)
Klemola of HIP 050535 (V = 8.46), with a maximal duration of
1.3 seconds and 7.2 magnitude drop.
